Just got my BatChat.
I LOVED the Lorraine 40t. My favorite tank by far. Will the Chat be anything like it or does it play differently? I absolutely hated the 13/75 and the 13/90 bu the Lor did it for me and am hoping the Chat does as well. Should I transfer over the same equipment ? Vstab, EGLD and Optics? Seemed ot work great on the Lorr. Or is its playstyle much different? |

I enjoyed the 8bit games. Fun to run, easy to get the necessary damage for the credits and XP.
Ran the Heavy and TD exclusively. Working on a highly trained French crew to get into the 50 120 eventually; even though there will be a penalty for type of vehicle. A 5 man platoon would be loads of fun, but I could see getting the 2500 damage would be hard. What were you guys running? I could see like 2 heavies, 1 TD, and 2 scouts healing the big guys... |

BTW, you can autolock on a distant enemy, and the Heavy lobs shells on a minor arc that will carry them over brick walls. Zoom in and watch your shells next time. Against an Arctic fox, if you can get a dead tank between the two of you, you can hit him. I don't think that he can hit you, or 95% of them just don't know that they can. |

Awesome, I will check that out. I'll look for you guys tonight too--platooning is so much better than running solo. |

I really enjoy the gun and engine sound mods. The last spotted position marked on the map, along with tank type, is good. The tally of damage dealt and your corresponding WN8 score are nice to keep you pushing harder. If I look over and see that I have a current WN8 of 800 in a match, I sometimes change my play style. The Battle Assistance view mod is a total game changer for artillery players. The incoming damage log is great for seeing what type of rounds you are being hit with, as wel as how many hitpoints you were hit for and by what type of tank. Can help you decide if you should take a chance getting hit by them again or not. I like seeing Clan Icons in XVM, so that I can type FUAROCK, or more importantly FBHO (although I tend to type that no matter what). |

I never remember the ones I have, and I just installed again on Windows. There's one I have now that shows a little meter at the bottom of the screen showing my effective armor thickness at the direction the turret is pointed, adjusted for angling. It's really improved my ability to sidescrape. Otherwise, Battle Assistant is a must, and XVM is helpful. I also run vbaddict.net's ADU in the background, and have its mods installed to collect crew statistics and such. |

For lights, I've been playing most M5 Stuart and AMX 13 75.
The AMX 13 75 is OK, but it gets tossed in with much higher tiers and I rarely get the chance to do damage. At best, I can load HE and knock out a track every now and then - which is fun enough, but doesn't do much for my WN8. I HATE the M5 Stuart. I bought it back because I wanted a lower-tier tank to do missions with, and it was a mistake. I used some of the free XP I got from 8-bit to upgrade to the Chaffee. I like the Chaffee! Yes, it's fragile, but it's fast and nimble enough to stay out of the line of fire - and the gun actually penetrates things. Shooting gold through it, I've gotten a surprising number of kill by being on my toes and shooting people from unexpected positions. I was able to track an SU-152 from the back last night and kill it solo before it was able to repair and turn around. If this keeps up, I may rescind my opinion of light tanks :) |

Crusader rape is best rape. It can be a very frustrating tank to play but sometimes, it's glorious.

Run straight gold and you'll still make money. The tank itself is sloooooow, but beings the pain, and played like a heavy at higher tiers will bring many wins as it is damned near impenetrable. I knocked out a majority of the personal light missions in mine. |

The Lorraine and Batchat are wholly different animals. And did you even get the top gun? You have to plan your moves in the Batchat and think ahead. Look specifically for isolated enemies and ambush them. Shoot from deep cover and bolt. Know where and into whom to put your rounds to be the most effective. Your target #1 with the Batchat should be enemy heavies, especially damaged enemy heavies. Put them out of the fight and then put your remaining rounds into whomever else has the misfortune of fighting your team. Second should be TD's. Meds and lights shouldn't be engaged unless you are far enough away that you can use your superior straight line speed to outrun them or lead them into traps. Never leave your heavies. As soon as someone or several someone's get tangled up, you have X5 everyone else's damage in short order, channel your inner fucking asshole and as soon as most of those enemies fire, you zip in and clip out on the unsuspecting shitbrick. You have the power to one clip pretty much every tier X in the game. Play it that way. I nearly never engage enemy mediums in my Batchat because they tend to have the ability to hit back where enemy heavies have no chance in hell of scoring a hit on me. I'm in, dump, and take off to reload before they're even able to take a cursory shot at me. |

The light mission is cake if you're even moderately careful. I'm averaging about 1800-2300 dmg unless I play like an idiot and try to be the medic. You don't make the damage base if you're healing other tanks.
The heavy mission Isn't too awful hard either. The most difficult part is getting stuck in quick enough to get the damage dealt before all the targets are dead. Haven't tried the TD yet. No real interest in the French line at this time, so I figure I'll train up the other crews a bit and take on the TD last. Anybody going to be tooning tomorrow night around 10pm mountain? |

You have the power to one clip pretty much every tier X in the game. Play it that way. I nearly never engage enemy mediums in my Batchat because they tend to have the ability to hit back where enemy heavies have no chance in hell of scoring a hit on me.

I have sold a few Tier 10s already as if I am not having fun in them, I don't see the point in keeping them when I can sell them and put the creds to something else. I run a standard account most of the time. I will keep the BAt Chat for a wile longer and take in what you said. I do have the top gun. It just seems this thing blows up a hell of a lot easier than the Lorr did lol. I think its the turning speeds thats getting me in trouble where I could actually dogfight in the Lorr, this thing absolutely cannot and I need to remember that. |

A Bat Chat and two E5's are unstoppable. Or a Bat chat and two T62A's...forget it. Get a team engaged, flank them, and lower the hammer. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WildBoar: Holy crap I am terrible in the Bat Chat. Selling this bitch. The Lorr was better. I am sure it was great in Tier 9 but I prefer the Lorr in a tier 10 battle over the Chat so far  I promise, you can learn to play it. Watch several youtube videos. (quickybaby's, for example) BC, E50M, & IS-7 are the only tier X tanks I can consistently win in. My E-100 has a 40-ish% WR  .I bet that you are either trying to brawl, or you are trying to jump into a bar fight. You cannot afford to take 3 hits while fighting. You have to snipe at the beginning of the match. If you take damage while the enemy has 10 tanks left alive, your chances are probably under 50% for getting out alive. This tank is not supposed to fully engage the fight until the battle is winding down, then it becomes mission impossible for OPFOR. If you can come in at full speed and "steal" a kill from your team mates, you are doing it right. This tank absolutely shines on maps like Steppes, Malinovka, Karelia, and sometimes the city maps, too, where you can put it's drive-by capable speed to good use. Speed is life. No, it doesn't turn great, but it goes forward and back really well. If you get stuck brawling, make use of sudden changes in direction, if necessary. I highly recommend that you consider training your driver for off road driving. I recently "discovered" this skill for my T-54, because compared to T-54s that I face in battle, mine seemed slow. Off Road adds 10% to your maneuverability on non-paved surfaces. |

I meant hard in the manner that a 5 man platoon focusing fire would eat enemy tanks up quickly. Depending on which tank you were running, you might run out of enemy tanks before you get your damage in. We had an awesome match last night where literally everyone on both teams went to the same area. It was a gang fight, and loads of fun. |

That's all i've been playing for the past few days (the winter mode). Best damage I've gotten was 10k in a mammoth but the people that play the game are, as you know, usually retarded so it's not hard to get a lot of damage. Credits are pouring in and the new crews are gaining xp F A S T. |

Really starting to like the Cent 7/1. I've got the B barrel gun on it, which at tier 9 is okay but leaves a lot to be desired at tier 10. I'm about 13k away from unlocking the turret, and a hell of a long way away from unlocking the gun. Those two modules are what I'm going to grind the hell out of, followed by tracks then the final engine. Once I get the tracks, should I mount a v-stab, vents or egld? Part of me wants to keep it set up the way my Cent 1 is, with vents, optics and a rammer.

It doesn't really do anything well except hit like a ton of penetrating bricks. It is basically an E100 without the awesome armor. It is time better spent on better tanks and grinds. I tried getting the final TD mission for two days in the damned thing, then one round with the tier 9 Conway later I had the mission done. |
